### CC Adi 16.60

> ‘দ্বিতীয়’ শব্দ — বিধেয়, তাহা পড়িল সমাসে ।\
> ‘লক্ষ্মীর সমতা’ অর্থ করিল বিনাশে ॥৬০॥

> 'dvitīya' śabda—vidheya tāhā paḍila samāse\
> 'lakṣmīra samatā' artha karila vināśe

*dvitīya*—secondary; *śabda*—the word; *vidheya*—the unknown; *tāhā*—that; *paḍila*—joined; *samāse*—in the compound word; *lakṣmīra*—with Lakṣmī; *samatā*—equality; *artha*—meaning; *karila*—became; *vināśe*—lost.

**"Because the word 'dvitīya' ['second'] is the unknown, in its combination in this compound word the intended meaning of equality with Lakṣmī is lost.**
